I have been out of the work force due to a spinal disability for about 6 years now and I may be jumping back into the fray. Can someone help me in finding the right hardware for Autocad Architecture 2011; I'm on a very tight budget? I'm looking at buying a pc from Re-PC or at the best from Tiger Direct (stores like that).
I currently have a P4 2.53 GHz with 2 GB ram and running XP Home. Autodesk says a minimum P4 3.0 GHz but I see a lot of Dual Cores in my price range. Is a 2.4 GHz Dual Core adequate to run ACA 2011 or would I be better off getting one of their P4 3.0's? I will be doing some rendering but the main thing will be construction docs.
Thanks for any advice you may have.
